Formal and Statistical Approaches to the Study of Inequalities in Mortality
Ugofilippo Basellini, Esther Dorothea Denecke, Ana Cristina Gómez Ugarte Valerio, Roland Rau, Emilio Zagheni, Jose Manuel Aburto (MPIDR / University of Oxford, United Kingdom); in Collaboration with Carlo Giovanni Camarda (French National Institute for Demographic Studies, France), Pavel Grigoriev (Federal Institute for Population Research, Germany), Fanny Janssen (Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute, Netherlands)
In this project, we focus on the development of new formal relationships and statistical methods to investigate demographic change across countries and over time. Particular attention is paid to mortality in small populations and inequalities in mortality across socioeconomic groups. Detailed Description
Different scenarios of lifespan equality (as measured by the Drewnowski’s index) and threshold ages under the Gompertz model
Gompertz mortality model with positive aging (ß > 0) for different levels of baseline mortality a and a fixed rate of aging ß = 0.1. In this framework, lifespan equality (D) and the threshold age (aD) increase as the level of mortality (a) decreases. © Aburto et al. (2022) © MPIDR
